VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT BY WING-ROTOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aircraft provided with the characteristics of a fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter while maintaining the performance which solves the problem that the fixed wing aircraft has high horizontal flight capability but it requires a runway thereby limiting its operation, and that the latter has high degree of freedom in its operation but its cruising performance is inferior to that of the former.;SOLUTION: The unmanned aircraft achieves both horizontal flight capability and vertical takeoff and landing capability with a simple mechanism by controlling a pair of main wings 2 provided to change their angles of mounting independently on the right and left sides, a main wing propeller 3 and an elevator 4.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
